Why would folks still put money into an EOL chip? Because they have full confidence of a seamless transition to IPF when
they need the extra performance.

or maybe IPF is just not attractive or interesting enough to warrant a processor and therefore binary change. Hey you and HP were the ones predicting a PA-Risc sales dropoff, as a user I could have told you you were whistling dixie ;-). Yep nice 25% increase from the extra cache and threads at the same clock, but this is a trick you can't repeat too often as you will run out of die space ;-).
